Maybe this world is crazy. After all.
Recently I finished Haruki Murakami’s “Norwegian Wood.” To cut it short, it is a story of a boy who loves a girl who can’t handle the world and kills herself in the end, leaving him miserable.
Lessons:
1. This world is f*cked up and the only way to escape is to end one’s life. But then, it’s not the solution to everything. We have to face life as it unfolds,...

“When you hurt people, they begin to love you...
A quote from the book I have just finished, The God of Small Things. A great read and an interesting story, The God of Small Things takes you to India to witness the fall of an Indian family and how things can change in a day. Love is such a strong force that it could break the high walls of society, and such forbidden love (between a Touchable and an Untouchable), when finally consummated, even...

Rabung
My mom buys vegetables every other morning from a man who sells vegetables in a cart. She has become a regular customer, and every time the vegetable man would pass along our street, he would shout, “ma’am, gulay!” and i would assume that “ma’am” refers to my mother.

Depravity
She was made to look up depravity in the Oxford Dictionary and read aloud its meaning.
“The quality or condition of being depraved or corrupt,”
Rahel read, with a row of sternmouthed nuns seated behind her and a sea of sniggering schoolgirl faces in front.
“Perverted quality; Moral perversion; The innate corruption of human nature due to original sin; Both the elect and the non-elect come into...

Bus Rides and Books
Travel to my office is about 2 hours, so while on the bus I go to places.
